What Is the Role of Antibody Complexes in Immunohistochemistry?
In immunohistochemistry (IHC), antibody complexes are used to detect specific proteins within tissue samples. Primary antibodies bind to the target antigen, and secondary antibodies, which are often conjugated with a detectable marker, bind to the primary antibody. This allows for the visualization of the antigen distribution within the tissue, aiding in the diagnosis of diseases such as cancer and autoimmune disorders.
